    I love how everyone is blaming a friend, parent or child for misheard things....

    I have always...er...I mean my friend has always thought it was "check it out now, funk so rubber" instead of "funk soul brother" from Fat Boy Slims "Funk Soul Brother" :blushing:

    My husband thought the line in "Oh Holy Night" was "round, young virgin". We have laughed about that every year. He is not the only person who thinks this apparently. LOL!

    it isn't?

    My boyfriend didn't know until just recently when I added it to my ipod that "Stir it up" by Bob Marley was not actually "Still the one" - he still sings it like that.
    I thought it was get serious. lil darling get serious.

    "I saw the sun, and it opened up my eyes I saw the sun..."

    That was super fun and embarrassing when I sang it loudly on a hike on a contiki-esque tour. Got lots of laughs, lol

    Oh and funny was when my Mum told us that if we crossed our eyes, they would stay that way. Years later we were joking about the lies she had told us growing up. I mentioned that one. And she said, "Wait, but isn't that true?!"

    Oh, my mother hears things wrong quite often and provides lots of entertainment. Listening to the song "Blackout" by Breathe Carolina she could've sworn they were saying "I'm an old black cow" instead of "I won't blackout." lol

    Tea Bagging....
    When I was a pre-teen, tea-bagging was a caffeine rush derived by sucking on tea-bags, and then jumping around with a slight high. Fast forward 30 years.

    I saw some tea-bags dumped in the trash, and my son, aged 15, had a sleep-over with several of his friends. My wife had dumped those tea-bags, but I didn't know that. I jokingly said "I see you guys were tea-bagging - eh?"

    They all looked at me wide-eyed, embarrassed. I continued...
    "Oh come on! I used to do that with my friends years ago" - and so the conversation went.
    I left it at a that, and it was not until later that night at a party that somebody advised me of my mistake.

    I WAS APPALLED!

    Um, I'll send you a PM. I can't think of any way to describe it that wouldn't violate the TOC for posting on the boards.

    These are too funny!

    When I was in Jr. High, my family & I were eating dinner at a restaurant when "Bust a Move" came on. I was singing along & the part came on that said "You say "neato"... check your libido And roll to the church in your new tuxedo". My parents, shocked at what I was saying, asked if I knew what "libido" meant. In all my adolescent wisdom, said, "Yes! It's a sports car!". They still tease me about that.

    In high school I dated a guy who was a couple of years younger than me. He seriously thought that girls peed out of their butts because we sit down to pee. I don't know that I've ever laughed that hard.

    when I was little I called myself a human bean. :)

    and when my husband first came to this country, his mother bought him and his brother a childrens sing a long tape, and he would sing the wrong words for "oh my darling clementine":

    You were lost and gone forever
    Prepul sorry
    clementine.

    (instead of dreadful sorry)

    My mate used to sing "Hey, Mr Tangerine Man', instead of Tambourine Man.

    I've thought lots of stupid stuff at times. I remember talking about our cat at secondary school, and saying it had been 'spade' and really not knowing what that meant- I got properly teased about that because I literally thought it had something to do with a spade!

    When I was younger, I also talked about giving someone a 'blow job'- i blew the nail varnish dry on her fingertips. my family have not let me live that one down.

    My younger brother used to sing " I'm a cemetery kind of guy baby baby" instead of Semi charmed kind of life baby baby" (Third Eye Blind)

    I would totally date a "Cemetery kind of guy" cos I'm a cemetery kind of girl! :wink:

    "Thunder road and the lightning strikes"

    Garth Brooks song

    Road? Road? How does that even make sense? My husband died when I first sang that song with those lyrics.

    My husband thought the line in "Oh Holy Night" was "round, young virgin". We have laughed about that every year. He is not the only person who thinks this apparently. LOL!

    it isn't?

    Y'all do realize that song is "Silent Night" Not "O Holy Night."


    That and I swear this is how I was taught the song "America the Beautiful" in 3yr. old ballet class

    "O beautiful for spacious skies
    O'er amber waves of grain. (as in the poetic spelling of the word OVER)"

    I saw For amber waves of grain on a calendar recently and told my hubby that they should have gotten a proofreader.

    In all actuality though it makes a LOT more sense to be O'er. The next line is For purple mountains majesty ABOVE the fruited plains. The last time I checked geography the amber waves of grain were NOT above the fruited plains, but were in fact under the spacious skies......

    So I guess for me the jury is still out. I still think that I am right and it is O'er.

    My ex husband (a CHemical Engineer) thought it was "I've got shoes, they're multiplying". And "Tasty Cheese" instead of Tastee Freeze in the Jack and Diane song. I made fun of him for years!!

    So my fiance and I were sitting around talking and he said the word Mancho and I was thinking .....Mancho what the hell is that. He says Mancho you know like Mancho Mancho man I wanna be a Mancho man (Village People) I think I almost peed myself. I said have you always thought it was Mancho? Well yes for the last 40 years he thought it was Mancho. Then I realized and this is purely my brother fault for messing with me but he told me LED meant little electronic device, I took that to college with me. That was an embarrassing day in class. What is something that you thought was one thing only to later find out it was another?

    This is one of the top 10 greatest things I've seen on the internet since the mid-late 90's
